Pen here is the second generation of this model which was introduced in 1975. The pen is crafted in high-quality shiny resin plastic which not only gives great appeal to the pen but it also protects it physically since it is more crack and scratch-resistant than other materials. The gold plated trimmings give the pen a more elegant look and complement the design as a whole.
